I have sat down tonight and gone through two packet captures that Marc
provided me with. One is the failing one, the other obtained by
disallowing SHA. The only difference that I can see is in the cipher
suite negotiated, which is purely the server's decision. Everything that
was going on seemed to tie in OK with the RFC as well.

It seems that the client doesn't fall back to SSL v3, I don't know where
I got that from. Both of the sequences use TLS1.0 all the way through.

This only leaves the encrypted bits to check. Do you know of anyway to
do this? Apparently wireshark can do some of it if you give it the
server's private key. Marc would it be possible for you to generate a
testing key and certificate and provide them to me along with a trace of
the session when using them?

Thanks,

James
